Mario Vargas Llosa: Nobel Lecture - In Praise of Reading and Fiction
Mario Vargas Llosa ได้กล่าว Nobel Lecture ที่สวีเดนเมื่อวานนี้ครับ
Writing stories was not easy. When they were turned into words, projects withered on the paper and ideas and images failed. How to reanimate them? Fortunately, the masters were there, teachers to learn from and examples to follow. Flaubert taught me that talent is unyielding discipline and long patience. Faulkner, that form writing and structure elevates or impoverishes subjects. Martorell, Cervantes, Dickens, Balzac, Tolstoy, Conrad, Thomas Mann, that scope and ambition are as important in a novel as stylistic dexterity and narrative strategy. Sartre, that words are acts, that a novel, a play, or an essay, engaged with the present moment and better options, can change the course of history. Camus and Orwell, that a literature stripped of morality is inhuman, and Malraux that heroism and the epic are as possible in the present as is the time of the Argonauts, the Odyssey, and the Iliad
Literature is a false representation of life that nevertheless helps us to understand life better, to orient ourselves in the labyrinth where we are born, pass by, and die. It compensates for the reverses and frustrations real life inflicts on us, and because of it we can decipher, at least partially, the hieroglyphic that existence tends to be for the great majority of human beings, principally those of us who generate more doubts than certainties and confess our perplexity before subjects like transcendence, individual and collective destiny, the soul, the sense or senselessness of history, the to and fro of rational knowledge.
เขาได้ให้สัมภาษณ์กับผู้สื่อข่าวในหัวข้อต่างๆ และแน่นอนว่าไม่ลืมที่จะกล่าวถึง โฟลแบรต์ นักเขียนคนโปรดของเขา ผู้ซึ่งเป็นแรงบันดาลใจในชีวิต
What writer would you like to pay homage now?
Flaubert. Thanks to him I learned how you can compensate the lack of talent with discipline, perseverance and patience
It was essential for my vocation.
